Baked Oatmeal
 

Anyone have a good recipe? One my kid might be willing to try?

My kids eat a cinnamon raisin one I make. I beat a bunch of eggs, like 6?, add in a little milk, a little bit of brown sugar and some cinnamon. Beat again. Then I mix in some oats and raisins until it will fill up a 9x13 casserole dish, sprinkle cinnamon on top and bake at 350 until done.... toothpick test. Let cool and cut into bars.

from my mom i like it without milk. you can add almost anything - fruit, nuts, etc. the other recipe she sent me is would also be good with a few mini chocolate chips mixed in.
also, you can make in muffin tins instead of the big pan, for individual and/or on-the-go servings.

I will have to try some this weekend. I know raisins are out, but chocolate chips would definitely make them appealing.

so. does it make like an oatmeal cookie square type thing? or..why do you bake it and then put milk on top? hows it different than just a bowl of oatmeal. obviously its baked but..ya know.
i've often wondered about baked oatmeal..:scratch i wanna try it..but :scratch

sorry. im such a spazz.

Curious, too. I don't like the texture of oatmeal cooked the traditional way, but like it made into granola, or in cookies, or muffin, or whatever. Does everyone eat baked oatmeal with milk on top or can it be eaten just as-is? I like to have higher-protein breakfasts, so I like MomtoJGC's recipe with lots of eggs, but I also like the sounds of the PB one. Wonder if I could combine the two?

its delish!! not at all like a cookie. its kinda more....like a cake (or thick brownie) with oats instead of flour, if that makes sense. its crumbly, esp once its cooled off, so some people like it warm with milk so its more like a hot&cold soft cereal; and its not goopy like regular oatmeal. http://www.cookingforseven.com/2011/...baked-oatmeal/ has a good pic of what it looks like in the bowl :drool

great, now imma have to go make some with PB and chocolate chips. :giggle

oh, and my mom has done ones with butterscotch chips, chunked apples, peaches, blueberries, strawberries, nuts, and etc - so you can usually find some sort of add-in your family will like.
